AbstractAn accurate assessment of root respiration in mine reclaimed soil is important for effectively evaluating mining area ecosystems. This study investigated dynamic changes in root respiration and the contribution of root respiration to total soil respiration (Rr/Rt ratio) during the non-growing season in mine reclaimed soil, with different covering-soil thicknesses. According to the covering-soil thicknesses, the study area was divided into four sites: 10–25 cm (site A), 25–45 cm (site B), 45–55 cm (site C), and 55–65 cm (site D). From November 2017 to April 2018 (except February in 2018), the soil respiration, root respiration, temperature at 5 cm, water content, and root biomass were measured. The results show that soil temperature and root respiration exhibited similar diurnal and monthly variations. The root respiration is strongly influenced by soil temperature during the non-growing season, with an exponential and positive relationship (P < 0.001). Root respiration varies with the covering-soil thickness and is greatest with a covering-soil thickness of 25–45 cm. The Rr/Rt ratio also exhibits monthly variations. During the non-growing season, the mean value of the Rr/Rt ratio is 51.15% in mine reclaimed soil. The study indicates that root respiration is the primary source of soil respiration and is an important factor for estimating the potential emission of soil CO2 from mine reclaimed soil at the regional scale.

LI-6400-09 soil CO2 flux chamber (LI-COR, NE USA) and Subtraction method were used to investigate the diurnal and seasonal variations of soil respiration and the contribution of root respiration to total soil respiration in a temperate broad-leaved Korean Pine forest ecosystem, China. Soil temperatures at 5 cm depth were recorded by Hobo thermal recorder (at 1 h interval) and year-round soil respiration and the contribution of root could be calculated based the Q10 relationship. The results indicated that: Diurnal variations of total soil respiration (TRs) and root-severed soil respiration (RRs) were highly associated with variations of soil temperature at 5 cm depth in a day. total soil respiration, root-severed soil respiration (RRs) and root respiration (Rs) followed a similar seasonal trend that varied markedly during the growing season with high rates in summer and low rates in spring and autumn, coinciding with summer wet and high temperature, and in spring and autumn, with the lower temperature. The mean rates of TRs, RRs and Rs was 3.68, 2.02 and 1.63 µmol m-2 s-1, which were 1392.63, 764.43 and 616.84 g C m-2 y-1 respectively from May to September in 2004. TRs, RRs and Rs were exponentially correlated with temperature during growing season. However, there were no correlations between soil respiration and soil volumetric moisture. The Q10 values for TRs, RRs and Rs were 2.40, 2.42 and 2.50 respectively. The root was a major component of soil respiration, accounting for from 29.3 to 58.7% of the total soil respiration from May to September in 2004. The year-round mean of TRs, RRs and Rs were 1.95, 1.07 and 0.81 µmol m-2 s-1, which were 737.94, 404.92 and 306.53 g C m-2 y-1 respectively. Root respiration contributed 41.0% to the annual total soil respiration.

Total Soil Respiration

Soil respiration contributes significantly to ecosystem respiration and is vital in the context of climate change research. In a season-long experiment we studied total soil respiration (TSR) and its partitioning into root respiration, rhizospheric respiration (RhR) and basal-soil respiration in four contrasting rice production systems: irrigated lowland (IL) (cv. Gayatri); organic nutrient managed irrigated lowland (OIL) (cv. Geetanjali); system of rice intensification (SRI) (cv. Swarna); and aerobic rice system (Aerobic) (cv. APO). We considered TSR to be the sum of root respiration, RhR and basal-soil respiration. Irrespective of the rice production system, TSR was higher at panicle initiation stage. Considering all four systems, the RhR contributed the most (59–83%) and basal-soil respiration the least (10–19%) to the TSR. Mean RhR showed the trend of Aerobic &gt; SRI &gt; IL &gt; OIL across the growing seasons and indicated higher rhizosphere activities in the aerobic system. Mean root respiration showed a trend of IL &gt; OIL &gt; SRI &gt; Aerobic and mean basal-soil respiration had SRI &gt; IL &gt; OIL &gt; Aerobic. Soil labile carbon pools and heterotrophic populations were higher in OIL and dehydrogenase activity was higher in SRI. Microbial biomass carbon, readily mineralisable carbon, dehydrogenase activity and the heterotroph population showed positive correlations with RhR. Hence, regulation of RhR is crucial and can be achieved through rhizosphere modifications linked with labile carbon pools and soil enzymatic activities by plant physiological modification or through soil carbon stabilisation.

Estimating contributions by root respiration and root litter to total soil respiration is difficult owing to problems in measuring each component separately. In a mixed hardwood forest in Massachusetts, we added or removed aboveground litter and terminated live root activity through construction of trenches and root barriers to determine the contribution of aboveground litter, belowground litter, and root respiration to total soil respiration. Annual soil respiration at control plots, measured by the soda-lime technique, was 371 g C•m−2-year−1. We used aboveground litter inputs (138 g C•m−2year−1) and differences in carbon dioxide effluxes among treatment plots to calculate contributions to total soil respiration by live root respiration (33%) and by organic matter derived from aboveground (37%) and belowground (30%) litter. Newly deposited aboveground litter contributed 31% of the carbon dioxide emitted by total aboveground litter. This estimate is consistent with values published in litter decomposition studies. Nearly two thirds of soil respiration in this forest can be attributed to root activity, comparable with a previous study suggesting that live root respiration plus decomposition of root litter contributes 70–80% of total soil respiration across a wide range of forests.
